The unfolding spectacle left everyone present in a state of shock. They couldn't help but sympathize with Andrew's pitiful plight. Even in such dire circumstances, Jodie showed no mercy. Despite the mounting evidence, Jodie vehemently denied the accusations, shaking her head and insisting, "No, this is a protective talisman. It was given to me by someone who claimed it would bring safety and protection. It's not a luck-attracting charm. Andrew, don't let Simone manipulate you. She's deliberately spreading falsehoods." Of course, she would deny it. She absolutely had to deny it. Anticipating Jodie's denial, Simone turned to Bailey and suggested, "Bailey, why don't you help Mr. Gray determine the truth? Is the pendant he's wearing a protective talisman or a charm for attracting luck?"Bailey's penetrating gaze met hers. So, this girl has her sights set on me, he thought. He agreed without hesitation, "Alright." Then, he instructed Aaron, "Remove the pendant." Following his directive, Aaron removed the pendant from Andrew's neck. Just as he was about to hand it to Bailey, he heard him say, "Flip the pendant over and examine the back. Check for a row of small characters. It should have your name and birthdate, Andrew." Aaron hesitated for a moment, then turned the jade pendant over. As expected, he found a row of small characters—Andrew's name and a string of numbers. Unsure of Andrew's exact birth time, he approached his bedside, leaned in, and whispered the numbers into his ear. "Andrew, is this your birth time?" He kept his voice low due to the live-stream. Andrew was taken aback for a moment, took a deep breath, and confirmed, "Yes." Bailey clarified, "Indeed, this is not a protective talisman, but a charm designed to forcibly steal luck from anyone connected to her, as long as they willingly wear it. She activates the charm with an incantation, draining your luck. It's different from the voluntary luck borrowing we've seen before. Now, without your knowledge, she can transfer your luck to herself." He looked at Andrew again and continued, "That's why your misfortune persists, to the point where even the bead bracelet can't suppress it and breaks prematurely. This also explains why she was conveniently on the polo field to avert disaster." Simone added, "Isn't this against the rules? I wonder which geomancy master assisted her with this." She was testing Andrew, seeing if he could grasp her underlying message. If he had finally come to his senses, then it should work. Upon hearing this, Andrew's face turned ashen, and he looked at Jodie with a chilling gaze. The pain of betrayal was unbearable. He had loved her sincerely, only to be repaid with such harm. He didn't ask her why she did it because he already knew the answer—she was selfish and cared only for herself. As long as she could profit from her brothers, she was content. Their fate was of no concern to her. Andrew remained silent for a while. Suddenly, he recalled Simone's words and asked Bailey, "Mr. Shawn, her actions are a violation of the geomancy association's rules, correct?" Bailey responded, "There is a department within the geomancy association specifically tasked with managing such issues. They need to conduct an investigation before reaching a conclusion. As a geomancer, I don't handle these matters." Simone glanced at him and asked, "In this situation, can the parties involved lodge a complaint with the geomancy association?" Bailey looked at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and replied, "Indeed, that is an option." This girl is up to something again. She's setting a trap. She wants her brother to have their adopted sister punished by the geomancy association! This is quite a ruthless move. As expected, Andrew calmly stated, "Then, I will lodge a complaint with the geomancy association and demand a thorough investigation and punishment for the geomancer who practices such sinister methods. I demand severe penalties." Now, Andrew's feelings for Jodie were a mix of deep love and intense hatred. He had been so kind to Jodie, always shielding her, but now, he yearned to see her face the consequences of her actions. Jodie was in disbelief as she stared at him. "Andrew, are you really going to do this to me?" Andrew found her plea laughable. "I'm merely returning the favor, an eye for an eye. I will treat you as you treated me." This time, he was determined not to be deceived by her again. Jodie staggered back, clutching her chest, struggling to accept his cold-hearted transformation. "Didn't you promise to always cherish and protect me? And now you blame me." Andrew's expression hardened. "I cherished and protected you willingly, but I didn't consent to you using underhanded tactics to harm me. I don't want to see you anymore; just leave." He genuinely didn't want to see her anymore. The once obedient and caring sister had become repugnant and terrifying. Suddenly, Jodie spun around, snatched the camera from the cameraman behind her, and smashed it on the ground, abruptly ending the live broadcast and leaving everyone at the scene stunned. After destroying the camera, she pleaded with Andrew, "I won't leave, Andrew. You can't do this to me. Don't report me to the geomancy association, okay? I've heard that being investigated by the geomancy association can cause immense mental and physical distress. Can you bear to see me suffer like that? I genuinely didn't know that this pendant could absorb luck. I thought it was just a protective talisman." If the geomancy association were to investigate, she would be in serious trouble. Simone interjected, "If you didn't know that the pendant could absorb luck, then how did you cast a spell to drain his luck? Your luck is now intertwined with his." Jodie felt her sanity slipping away. She turned to Simone and snapped, "Stay out of this. This is between Andrew and me, and it doesn't involve you." Isn't Simone resentful of her brothers? Why is she still helping them? This woman is deliberately opposing me. How despicable. Just as Simone was about to respond, Andrew intervened. He looked at Jodie with icy eyes and said, "You should stay quiet. Regardless of anything, Simone is my biological sister. We can't afford to have an ungrateful person like you in our family. I was a fool to be deceived by you in the past, and I won't let it happen again." Jodie attempted to argue, "Andrew, it's not like that, I—" Just then, the hospital room door swung open, and Owen and Alice entered, accompanied by their son.
